We added two new columns to the Player Profile pages in your fantasy football league. See Steve Smith’s player page here for an example. The new columns are “Opp Rush” and “Opp Pass“. These columns indicate the ranking (1 is best, 32 is worst) of the NFL opponent’s defense against the Rush and the Pass. So if you see a low number in the Opp Rush column for a given week, then you know this player is going up against a highly ranked rush defense. Conversely, if you see a relatively high number in the Opp Pass column, for example, then you know this player is going up against a poorly ranked passing defense. The rankings are based on the average rushing and passing yardage allowed per game by the defense. Hopefully this additional information will help you evaluate players for future match ups as you make your roster and waiver decisions each week.
And while you’re viewing a player, don’t forget about the Compare Player option at the bottom of each Player Profile page. You can click on the pull down list to bring up a comparison between any two (or more) players for some side-by-side analysis.
